By  at June 03, 2026    No comments

Jason Mraz, best known for his diamond-certified hit “I’m Yours” with over two billion streams, is finally returning to Malaysia after seven long years as part of his anticipated Asia tour! Organised by Zues Event, Jason Mraz Asia Tour 2026 Live in Kuala Lumpur is set to bring the feel-good vibes to National Hockey Stadium, Bukit Jalil on 31st October 2026 (Saturday).

The Grammy-winning singer-songwriter has inspired generations with his uplifting and heartfelt songs, which traverse beyond his signature acoustic-pop sound to incorporate influences from folk, reggae, R&B and disco. A Songwriters Hall of Fame honouree, his discography boasts a slew of timeless anthems such as the billion-streamed “I Won’t Give Up”, “Lucky” (with Colbie Caillat), “Have It All”, “I Feel Like Dancing” and “The Remedy (I Won’t Worry)”, widely played and sung across the world.

Jason Mraz started out as a busker and coffeehouse performer before landing a record label deal that launched his recording artiste career, which now spans nine studio albums, including platinum and multi-platinum status. His passion for music takes on various forms, from a lead role in Sara Bareilles’ Broadway musical “Waitress” to executive producer of the documentary “The Opener” and runner-up of “Dancing with the Stars” Season 32.

As a humanitarian, he founded the Jason Mraz Foundation to support programs focused on inclusive arts education and the advancement of equality. All profits from his 2020 album “Look for the Good” went to organisations working toward equality and social justice.

With his fedora ready and guitar in tune, Jason Mraz will be delivering a lyrical and rhythmic feast through a setlist of beloved hits alongside newer material, turning the stadium into one big singalong fiesta.

Jeffery Chin, Director of Zues Event Sdn Bhd, said, “We are continuing the momentum from our recent K-pop concert with a different kind of connection and energy. Many Malaysians grew up listening to Jason Mraz, and his music carries positivity, emotion and authenticity that still resonates strongly today. We believe Jason Mraz’s return to Kuala Lumpur will attract not only his loyal fan base, but also music lovers looking for a feel-good, world-class live performance experience. The night also promises sparks and drone-lit skies.”

According to news outlets, Peabo, whose real name is Robert Peapo Bryson, passed away on 2nd June 2026 (Tuesday), surrounded by family. While his family hasn’t revealed the cause of death, the Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter reportedly suffered a stroke a few days before his death and was under medical care. He is survived by his wife, Tanya Boniface, and his two children.

Touch Grass: 6 Things M’sian Youngsters Can Do Now That Social Media Is Off-Limits

By  at June 02, 2026    No comments

As of 1 June 2026, Malaysia’s Child Protection Code (CPC) under the Online Safety Act 2025 (ONSA) bars youngsters under the age of 16 from having social media accounts.

To comply with the new rules, licensed social media service providers operating in Malaysia including Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube are required to introduce stricter age-verification processes, with users expected to verify their age using official documents such as MyKad or passports.

How this will affect youngsters

Having grown up in a digital-first world, youngsters may view the restrictions as limiting their freedom and ability to participate in online communities that play a significant role in their daily lives.

Supporters of the move argue that reducing social media exposure could help protect children from online risks such as cyberbullying, harmful content, and excessive screen time.

Additionally, the ban could bring about notable changes to how they spend their time. While some may seek alternative online platforms, others may turn their attention to offline activities.

 

With that being said, here are 6 ways youngsters can spend their time instead of scrolling social media:

Photo by Fei Chao on Unsplash
  • Pick Up a New Sport or Outdoor Hobby

Whether it’s badminton, futsal, skateboarding, cycling, or hiking, spending more time outdoors can help youngsters stay active while meeting new people in the real world.

  • Learn a Skill That Pays Off

From coding and graphic design to photography and video editing, there are plenty of skills that can be learned through books, classes, or supervised online resources that don’t revolve around social media.

  • Rediscover Reading

Novels, comics, manga, biographies, and self-improvement books offer a chance to explore new worlds, learn new ideas, and improve language skills — all without endless scrolling.

  • Spend More Time With Family and Friends

Board game nights, family outings, movie marathons, or simply hanging out with friends can help build stronger relationships and create memories that no social media post can replicate.

  • Explore Creative Hobbies

Drawing, painting, writing, baking, playing musical instruments, or even gardening can provide a productive outlet for creativity while helping youngsters develop patience and focus.

  • Volunteer and Give Back

Joining community clean-ups, animal welfare initiatives, charity drives, or youth organisations can help young Malaysians develop new skills, gain valuable experiences, and make a positive impact on society.

 

A Silver Lining?

While a social media ban may initially feel restrictive to many youngsters, it could also encourage them to discover interests, talents, and experiences that often get overshadowed by screen time.

The challenge lies not in finding ways to fill the time, but in making the most of it.

M’sian-Korean Influencer Couple Rushes Son to Hospital, Causes Debate Over Recording

By  at June 02, 2026    No comments

Malaysian-Korean influencer couple, DurianKimchi, is making waves online after husband, Ryzal Ibrahim, had recorded wife and son, Maryam You Na-rae and Rian, as they rushed the 16-month-old boy to the hospital following a fall that left him drifting in an out of consciousness.

In a video shared to social media, Ryzal was seen driving while recording his wife in the passenger seat of their vehicle as she patted their unconscious son’s back and screamed his name.

“Our hearts sank when we saw our own child unconscious after falling off the bed. He cried so hard before falling silent and closing his eyes as if he was going to sleep, he was unresponsive and we immediately took him to the Emergency room.”

“Maryam and I tried to not let Rian sleep all the way to the Emergency room but his body was completely unresponsive, his eyes were closed even though Maryam screamed his name as loud as she could!” Ryzal wrote.

Thankfully, the boy turned out fine as he was later shown to be responsive and playful.

 

Social media chatter

As the video went viral, many questioned Ryzal’s choice to record the journey to the hospital as it is an offence to operate or hold a mobile phone while driving, under Rule 17A of the Road Traffic Rules 1959.

Though, many pointed out that, in emergency situations, it is important to record a situation as a reference for healthcare personnel, capturing symptoms that may stop before a doctor sees them.

X

“Still managed to record while driving.”

“Not wearing seatbelt, recording while driving, reckless driving. So, JPJ Malaysia, what more proof is needed?”

While many have sympathised with the couple’s distress during what was clearly a frightening ordeal, the incident has also sparked important discussions about road safety and parental decision-making.

A question now remains on whether the decision to record while driving may have compromised road safety, regardless of the circumstances. Ultimately, the incident serves as a reminder that in moments of crisis, balancing the urgency of the situation with safety and responsibility remains paramount.

(Photos) First Look At Miss HK 2026 Hopefuls As First Round Of Interview Kicks Off

By  at June 02, 2026    No comments

It’s that time of the year again! The Miss Hong Kong Pageant (香港小姐競選/Miss HK) is kicking off its 2026 edition with the first round of recruitment interviews. As with every edition, netizens look forward to seeing aspiring contestants aiming for the coveted crown.

The auditions began on 2nd June 2026 (Tuesday), a week after the global recruitment and online application closed on 25th May 2026 (Monday). Reports say that nearly 100 hopeful participants gathered at TVB City in New Territories, Hong Kong, for the first round of interviews, with more contestants set to appear later this week.

SOURCES: FACEBOOK (TVB)

As usual, this year’s audition saw a diverse mix of participants. The pool includes pageant veterans and former child stars. Virginia Lok, Assistant General Manager of Artist Management and Development at TVB, described several participants as “cute” and full of potential. She also revealed that some contestants have gotten high scores from the judges.

However, the reaction online has been lukewarm. Some netizens didn’t even hold back their criticism, lamenting that the contestants weren’t up to their expectations. Despite the criticism, there were a few standouts, including 25-year-old Winnie Lam, who said she previously acted in TVB dramas as a child.

Another notable contestant is Shania Fu, the winner of the Miss Chinese Vancouver Pageant 2024. Another pageant veteran in this year’s competition is Helen Liu, who won the Miss Exhibition Pageant in 2025. With their experience in pageant competitions, both contestants reportedly had more confidence in front of the camera than the other contestants.

Many other hopefuls have also left a strong impression on netizens with their distinctive looks. According to the Miss HK Instagram page, the theme for this year’s pageant is “Dare To Be Perfect” or “敢 · 至完美”. The slogan encourages contestants to embrace challenges, express their true selves and strive for perfection.

As auditions continue, we’ll see more photos of the contestants and probably learn more about their background and personality. Nevertheless, we wish all the hopefuls good luck and all the best in their interviews.

Dua Lipa Shares Romantic New Photos From Wedding To Callum Turner

By  at June 02, 2026    No comments

If you haven’t heard, Dua Lipa is married! The British singer-songwriter tied the knot with actor Callum Turner over the weekend, with the couple saying their “I Do’s” in an intimate civil ceremony in London. After a few days of silence, the singer finally shared the news on her socials.

On 2nd June 2026 (Tuesday), Dua Lipa updated her social media with photos from her wedding to Callum Turner. The couple wedded in a civil ceremony in London on 31st May 2026 (Sunday), with only family members and close friends in attendance. While the event was small, the singer’s photos proved that it was still a celebration filled with love and joy.

The first photo in the slideshow shows a black-and-white shot of the now-Mrs Turner sitting on her husband’s lap while kissing him. On the other hand, the second photo offers a closer look at Dua Lipa’s stylish wedding attire. The singer wore a custom Schiaparelli couture skirt suit, completing the look with white gloves and a wide-brimmed hat.

While Dua Lipa hasn’t commented on the look, many fashion experts believe the white skirt suit is a nod to Bianca Jagger’s iconic wedding look to Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger. Meanwhile, Callum Turner donned a navy double-breasted Ferragamo suit, keeping the look monochrome with a matching shirt and tie.

The third photo shows the newlyweds walking hand-in-hand down the stairs of London’s Old Marylebone Town Hall, as loved ones throw confetti and flower petals to celebrate their joyous union. The slideshow ends with another photo of Dua Lipa and Callum Turner, still locking hands, walking inside the same town hall where stars like Paul McCartney also got married.

The couple is reportedly holding a larger celebration later this week to continue the festivities. The rumoured three-day celebration will be an “ultra-luxurious affair” in Sicily, Italy. Some famous names reportedly attending the event include singers Elton John and Charli XCX, producer Mark Ronson and fashion designer Donatella Versace.

If you’re wondering, Dua Lipa and Callum Turner have been dating since early 2024. After many picturesque holidays together, the couple confirmed their engagement in June 2025. Congratulations to the pair on their marriage, and may their love last a lifetime.
